Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf translated to English by Ralph Manheim.

Of the currently available English translations (Stalag, Murphy, Ford, Reynol & Hitchcock, and most recently, Dalton), many consider Manheim's translation to be the most precise to the original German edition. However precise this particular translation may be, it does not exist without flaws. I will mention some points to become aware of prior to reading.

First, this translation comes with an anti-Hitler introduction and hostile footnotes which the reader may avoid in the interest of objectivity. One should begin reading a new book with a neutral mind. In this case, both introductions, and the footnoting, serve to sabotage the reader's objective viewpoint and undo Hitler's words, where they have not already been tampered through subtle mistranslation. It should be noted, however, that a small portion of the footnotes which lack Manheim's subjective input are useful, but these are sadly in the minority.

Second, there are purposely mistranslated racial slurs in place of ordinary references to "Negroes" (Neger in German.) You will find instead terms such as "niggerized" in place of ordinary references to Africans. For instance, on page 383, the passage reads, "in a bastardized and niggerized world", while translated from the original German reads, "in a bastardized and narrow world". Another blunder is featured on page 57, where "little Jew (Jüdlein)" is replaced by "kike."

These slurs are implemented in an attempt to make Mein Kampf appear more offensive to the unaware reader. The goal is to diminish the soundness of Hitler's ideas and shift the reader's curiosity into hostility, all while fitting the popular narrative that Hitler's book is merely an outlet for rambling, hatred, and bigotry.

Although, with any translation of a large work, there are genuine errors to be found. Mein Kampf: A Translation Controversy, written by Michael Ford, points to some of these flaws and offers corrections. While the book seemingly acts as an advertisement for his own translation, Ford still succeeds in amending a majority of Manheim's inaccuracies.

This book exists as a temporary "rental" file elsewhere on the Internet Archive. I re-uploaded it here so others may download it permanently to form their own opinion on what is considered by many the most infamous book of history. To understand Mein Kampf requires a circumnavigation of nearly a century's worth of distortion.

It is often claimed that Mein Kampf is a dangerous book. What one finds is a genuine analysis of the root of Germany's issues and their solutions, which would later be implemented and immediately successful in the Third Reich. (For more details on these social policies, see Richard Tedor's book, Hitler's Revolution.) The many war profiteers, world bankers, Marxists, and others who took advantage of the downtrodden German people were left exposed and their influence stripped away and nullified.
